Internet Safety

Below is a list of current 'popular' apps which children may use or have come across.  The information below gives an outline of these apps, what they are used for and what to keep an eye out for when children are accessing them.  It also states how the information entered is stored / shared and why they have rated them at a specific age range.

e.g CALCULATOR is designed to help users hide what they are really doing from parents and store and share things which are 'protected' by not storing them in the camera roll.   Looking at a users screen you will see a working calculator but access a specific code and it opens up something completely different.
